GOP Labor Commissioner candidate faces campaign finance complaint
Bruce Thompson, who is vying to be the Republican candidate for Georgia Labor Commissioner is facing a campaign finance complaint.
ATLANTA – A Buford, Georgia woman has filed a campaign finance complaint accusing Republican Labor Commissioner candidate Bruce Thompson of violating Georgia campaign finance laws.
The FOX 5 I-Team examined the allegations and found Thompson spent some $35,000 from his old state Senate campaign for his current Labor Commissioner race.
Jeri Tyler has two loves: boarding and feeding her current horses and reminiscing about the former horse races she followed, political horse races.
“I had a newspaper, and I was around politics a lot,” said Tyler
Tyler was the heart and soul of the Hog Mountain Herald until 1996.
Reporter: “You were editor, publisher and owner?”
Tyler: “Yup.”
Reporter: So, at heart you are a journalist?”
Tyler: “”Yup.”
The former journalist is now stepping back into the political game she so loves.
Tyler has filed a campaign finance complaint against a statewide candidate running for Georgia Labor Commissioner, Bruce Thompson.
“I’m hoping the voters will have a chance to see what kind of person he is,” Tyler said.
Thompson has been a Republican State Senator out of White, Georgia since 2013. But, when Labor Commissioner Mark Butler announced he was retiring, Thompson decided to run for his seat.
